New Mexicans

We are just preparing to go to NM. I am probably staying behind for a while to see how it goes, plus I can't find an apartnebt that feels right. GRRR! NM has some scary areas and rumor has it that you don't go out after dark, so this scares me. Not all areas are that way, but I am not updated on which are and aren't. I am nervous to be a single mom for 5 months and to be alone!! I look forward to Nate being home at night. I get ancy and bored without him!! :( But this is a small sacrifice for a great opportunity and adventure. Owen started preschool and his teacher is Ms. Carol Walker. He really likes it and really likes her! She says he is good and a great role model for the other kids. YEAH! for owen! Dakota is binky free and starting to talk. She loves her brother Austin and takes good care of him. Aust and I wnet to Nephi one weekend and Nate said she would walk around the house looking for him and would stand by his bed all the time. When we came home her eyes opened wide and she was way excited. She grabbed from me and held him and hugged him alot!! Austin is eating like a pig. He eats Oatmeal, rice, Green Beans, carrots and some fruit. He eats a bowl full 2 times a day and sometimes a whole jar of food. He is a porker! Nate is nervous about the intensity of the Academy, but very excited for the change and the adventure. I am scared too, but also ready for something new! Here are some pics of recent activities:
